Last week we covered 11 craftable items Mojang should incorporate into Minecraft. Since then, Mojang has proceeded to stuff their sandbox game with a bunch of pointless shit and Markus “Notch” Persson has adopted a bizarre affinity for watching animals have sex with each other. I guess we’ll call it even. In between us doing the initial work for the first article and completing the content for today’s article the indie game developer has produced an official 1.8 release as well as a 1.9 pre-release rife with things like snowmen wearing pumpkins on their heads. It’s safe to assume these people have collectively lost their shit and that their next grand idea is going to be a tower that spits out infinite cookies.
Too late.
Regardless, here’s part two of our epic “wouldn’t it be cool if…” Minecraft series with 11 more awesome crafting recipes Mojang should use in their game!
For the uninitiated or those of you who have lives outside of doing stupid shit on a computer your entire lives, Minecraft (by Mojang) is one of those games being hailed as “one of the best indie games ever released”. Minecraft is simple, painfully so, which might be the reason why it’s so popular. In a market saturated with needlessly complex BS here’s a game where you can just stack a bunch of blocks together that look like a house and let it get blasted by lightning or filled with lava by online griefers wearing giant dongs as a custom player skin. Minecraft is successful because it’s a basic game and you can do whatever you want (like Grand Theft Auto minus all the hookers and blow). The creativity is almost endless and lets you combine items and raw materials into dozens of useful tools and decorations.
Better put that block back where you got it.
We say “almost” though, because although the game is basically a “play by your own rules” open-ended adventure experience, there are a ton of things you can’t make with the raw materials provided. An entire fan-mod community exists to fill this gap, however these modifications are never part of the actual lineup of the game until Mojang picks up the idea(s) and releases them as official items. Below are 11 items conceived by the creative community at GatorCraft, their intended uses, and why they’d be kickass to have in Minecraft.
Countless speedruns and analyses of this game exist online and do so under the game’s various titles. Some know it as Cat Mario, others as Dongs.exe. It’s original name, however, is Syobon Action: a homebrew PC title that has seen fan-made ports on a number of platforms. Today’s episode takes a look at a faithful port of Syobon Action for the Wii and gives it that unique GMO2 flair, and by that we mean tons of frustration about this purpose-built aneurysm factory.
